Poll: What's your opinion of adult dorms?

Nicole Lawton Reporter from Central Leader

Hey neighbours! Adult dorms are a thing - we took a look around the most recent example that's about to open on Symonds St, Auckland CBD. The Coh - short for co-home - is charging $360pw for a room smaller than a parking space in the shared house. What's your opinion on shared living?

Hi Neighbours,
I'm looking for a reliable lawn mowing service who are available today.
I need to have the grass and edges tidied around my garden in Westmere as I have work being done to the outside and access is over the rear lawn.
2 other companies have let me down and work is due to start tomorrow.

It's about 10 X 10 M plus a couple of paths at the sides of the house that need a strimmer to the edges.

Anyone who is free can call me, 021 149 7373, or if you leave a message here or PM me I can call whoever you recommend.

Thanks everyone, Susan

Auckland Business Chamber's chief executive Michael Barnett said there had been a significant amount of disruption, and better diversions and communication could have reduced this. What do you think about the incident? How do you feel about the city's roads?

Do you have bunions and think that surgery is the only answer?

Corrective Foot Solutions

Bunions affect 1 in 3 New Zealanders they can lead to pain and discomfort, which affects mobility, balance and quality of life. That’s not to mention the look of them and the difficulty of fitting shoes.

Bunions affect 1 in 3 New Zealanders they can lead to pain and discomfort, which affects mobility, balance and quality of life. That’s not to mention the look of them and the difficulty of fitting shoes.

We’ve decided to run a special offer for people with bunions - “Bunion Evaluation” for only $33 (worth $85). Offer valid 11/07/2019 - 25/07/19

Many doctors and podiatrists believe that surgery is the only way to fix a bunion. This is not true. Bunion surgery is painful and doesn’t address the underlying cause of a bunion, which is generally the way we walk and stand. Ideally, surgery should be considered as a last treatment option for bunions.

At Corrective Foot Solutions, we use a gentle, hands-on technique to effectively treat and correct bunions – which means there’s no need for surgery or orthotics. We use Foot Mobilisation Therapy to correct the underlying cause of your bunion by working on the misalignments in the foot, as well as strengthening the weakened muscles around the joints.

Pop in and see us at 272 level 3b Parnell Rd, Parnell, Auckland or give us a call on 092129250
